Hi,

 I have the following table as below:

 

The listings in the ‘Event’ column are linked to PDF files (made up of Calculated, Text and URL. columns) Currently, once an Event is clicked, the PDF opens in the same browser window.

Is there any way to have the PDF’s open in a new browser window?

I don’t mind editing source files if this is the only way to achieve the result.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks.

If your table is within a module, then in your dnn html/text editor, the hyperlink manager (chain-link-icon) for the event should let you set the Target to New Window.  I haven't used all the editors but all the ones I've used supported that.

Editing the PDFs won't do it (if that's the source file you are talking about).  The returned html or script controls that (tells the user's browser).

I’m creating a ‘table’ with the Form and List module.
Source files – I meant editing the source files/code of the actual Form and List module.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The Form and List module 5.1.3 allows an admin, under settings, to allow the selection [check box] to spec that a file to be opened in a new window.

When allowed, and checked on upload/selection, this gets recorded for each linked file in the UserDefinedData table in the db under the FieldValue for the UserDefinedFieldID and UserDefinedRowID

A FileID=xyz  (x,y,z being integers) with nothing following opens in the same window.

FileID=xyz|options=W   forces that file to be opened in a new window.

Changing the data where you want seems better than forcing all.

This was arrived at empirically; perhaps a developer could confirm.

 Maybe try this.

URL Location - URL
Document - Download

Calculated Column Expression:
'<a href="' + URL Location + Document +'" target="_blank" >' + Document + '</a>'

after the href=, it's a double-quote followed by a single quote; " & '
And before the target= part, it's a single-quote followed by a double-quote; ' & "

Hope this helps.. -jeff
